In the name of Racial Justice, we too must center the lived and historical experiences of Black, Indigenous and other communities of color.

The Babbling Bear calls for us to reflect on our systemic racist past and present to build a more just and inclusive campus for the future. In doing so, we can begin by making a language key, and then use it to eliminate the word “field” from every systemic racist use. Let’s start by calling “Schoellkopf Field,” “Schoellkopf Only.”
